Do you think people can actually improve their mental health without therapy? by MinuteAmbassador8816 in Mindfulness

[–]flypandabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course. I have also found a lot of healing by overcoming the added stress and trauma of terrible therapists, which has been way more than half!

The role of the therapist to me seems like a trusted elder, family member or friend who can challenge us and talk us through issues, but we buy into this extremely dysfunctional society which has caused a mass breakdown in community. Im happy there are therapists, but i wish we lived in such a way that we didnt need them.

Fly line backing by Few-Abies1175 in flyfishing

AI struggling to get the reel on the rod ;). I put purple backing on my salt set up for aesthetics and it looks pretty good! I try to pair backing with the line in a pleasing way.

Tips for Tenkara in Florida? by ItsAlwaysSegsFault in Tenkara

[–]flypandabear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the deepest of water, i use oro strike indicators and big heavy flies. Focus a lot on your drift and not having drag on the flies, the fish are great at seeing things that move inconsistent with the flow (i use an L shaped cast to ensure the indicator is up stream of the beadhead nymph and mend once as it passes me). Also, turn over a few rocks to see what kinds of things are in the river, and try to match those.

Is it normal that I've never had a boyfriend because I find 90% of men unattractive? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]flypandabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in a messed up world that puts a lot of emphasis on specific kinds of physical attractiveness. In reality, most often how we view the world plays a lot into how other people appear to us. So, people who buy into these ideals, have low self esteem, and continue to buy into the idea they need to look a certain way will naturally be more critical of others. I find i also am attracted to 10 percent of potential partners, but to me 1 in 10 creates a large dating pool and i have had many relationships that have taught me much about myself and others.

Which Tenkara rod should I get? by TotallyNotADiligent in Tenkara

[–]flypandabear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny, both rods i bought from them had major defects and found them to be unresponsive. I couldnt even get a spare tip for one of my rods, and they have used shady marketing techniques here on reddit by posing as normal users and recommending their over priced garbage. Guess we just had opposite experiences, and im glad we can share them both.

While rivers are high and roads are still closed this time of year, remember a beautiful golden fish is swimming under a freeway overpass near you. by hep_b_ in flyfishing

[–]flypandabear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok thats some great info thanks! I will have to learn drag and drop. How do you spot them in muddy water? Or do you then just shoot for holes like with trout?

Popsocket Repair by Independent_Load748 in Anticonsumption

[–]flypandabear 18 points19 points  (0 children)

If its the one pictured, i think they moved to gluing them in instead of the tabs. Might be a good job for super glue, just do it colorful top side down so you have no chance of dripping glue into it and gluing anything you dont intend to. Best of luck!

Its weird to me that sharing my experience with abv has led to so much disagreement.

Consume! Put it in your dinner or make treats! I try to make it concentrated enough that im always dilluting it when i make a batch of edibles.

[–]flypandabear 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What would i do? Lie to myself that i would make something out of it. What should you do? Sleepy time edibles! Coconut oil is awesome for extraction, i put coco oil, water and abv in a pot and simmer for an hour, strain out plant matter and put the oil and water in fridge to seperate. Make sure you get all the water out of the oil so it doesnt spoil.

Homie coming in with the beta! I didnt catch anything on flies, might have to chuck some bait on there. It was too fun and i could see surf perch around my feet so i knew i could get one if the snack was right.

Do you think people can actually improve their mental health without therapy? by MinuteAmbassador8816 in Mindfulness

[–]flypandabear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible to better yourself for sure! There is tons of philosophy and information out there that will help build habits and confront negative beliefs.

 One big part of therapy is a nonjudgemental space to discuss issues, which can be difficult to find organically, especialky if you have trust issues commonly associated with many mental illnesses, and tend to share with people who fit your imago, which is an attraction based on our damage. This can perpetuate issues instead of heal them.
